The GAZETTE is now tho Oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions tho old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS Gifts existence la
its columns has always been found a mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhatis going on in the
world has ever been lis aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household, while il the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities tor oh
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press die
patches from every part oftho world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well rs
from every part of the habtable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mrr
chants is its afternoon market reports lroni
New York, Baltimore Chicago and olhei
centres.
The local department furnishes full aud
complete history of everything that occurs
n and near tho city, end this feature will,
as ever receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of the State, is pub.
liahed regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
are to lie found in the columns
Of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
nreasing, especially among people who con.
suit lis advertising columns before purchss
ng. That this is self-evidont may be infer
red from the fact that Fl large country ed.
'Ion--nearly as large as the daily--is sent
al over this section of country three tines
week, and is read by thousands most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The. advantages of adj
'ertisng in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap
parent.

Railroad Commissioners Report.
No. q

In the matter of the complaint of the citizens
of Cambridge, Vt, against the Burlington & La
noble railroad company.l
This was a complaint for obstruct-
ing the flow Of water and ice in a
branch of the Lamoille river with
abutments of bridge; neglect to main
tain cattle guards at crossings dam
ages occasioned by accumulation of
surface water. The Board appointed
Monday, January 31st, ultimo, as the
time and Cambridg VT, as the place
of hearing. Notice of said complaint
and time and place of hearing was
given to said corporation, as required
by law. At the time appointed for
hearing, the complainants and George
L. Linsley, general manager of said
railroad, met commissioner Il. C..
Fletcher, and before the arrival of the
other members Of the board-the mat
tiers complained Of never having been
brought to the attention of the man.
agement of the railroad-an arrange
ment was made, which, if carried out
by said corporation, at the opening of
spring as contemplated, will dispense
with the necessity of any further action
or recommendation by the board.
The other members of the board were
notified of the arrangement ana did
not assemble. Meantime the case is
suspended awaiting the carrying out
of said arrangement.

Very few are aware of the advances
being made in horticulture and the nur-
sery business who have not seen Lovett' S
Guide to Fruit Culture for 1887. The
fruits now offered are, in many instances,
so vastly superior to those OF the past
that they can be regarded as little less
than marvellous. Not only have advanc-
es been accomplished i'll the fruits them
selves; for the improvements in distrib-
uting the trees and plants that produce
them, to all parts of the country, have
been equally great. By these modern
methods a farmer or fruit grower can sit
at his firesde and, in addition to having
nursery stock delivered at his home, at
half the cost of the old way, get just
what he wants and orders, absolutely
true to name and in perfect condition for
growing at the proper season for plant
ing. "Lovett's Guide" tells the whole
story about the fruits, giving their defects
as well as their merits. 1t is a book of
20 pages, with a beautiful chromo-litho-
graphic cover. Price 10 cents. Pamph-
lets and circulars free. Address j. L.
Lovett, Little Silver, New Jersey.

temperance Instruction.

The teachers of our country are re-
alizing the necessity of temperance
instruction as never before. 1t has
been found that work expended for
the reformation of old drinkers paws
small per cent. of profit, while work
in the school and home of the youth
yields large and sure return. When
a young man makes up his mind not
to drink after he has learned the eff
feet of Alcohol ON the system, he is
pretty sure to keep the same mind as
long as he lives. There are several
reasons why so many of our young
men become drunkards: First, they
do not believe that alcohol is a poison {;
beer, wine and even little whiskev,
now and then, they think is entirely
harmless. They are fortified by no
physiological argument. In fact they
often think that liquor, if used in
moderation is Zone Of the good crea-
lures of Cod" Then they have
never seen the economical side of the
question. Fifteen cents day for
drink and as much for cigars is not
thought of. 1t is not much. They
never have calculated that it will
amount tosmOre than a hundred dol
lars year, and that if put at inter-
est for ten years it will yield a sum
sufficient to buy very good house in
a respectable village. The truth is
that nine out of ten young men have
graduated with good business educa-
ton on almost all subjects except
temperance. They have been preached
to, lectured to and exhorted about it,
but never instructed. Now the times
are changing and temperance instruc-
ton must constitute part of all pub
lie school work. Let us be thankful
that the law has come in to aid the
reformer, and let it be remembered
that any teacher who disregards the
teaching of temperance physiology
and economy is not only violating
statute enactment, but also doing in
calculable injury to the young men
and women committed to his care.

DIVORCE STATIsTICs.-The National
Divorce Reform League, of which
Bishop Paddock is president, and Rev.
S. w. Dixie secretary, has just issued
its annual report, from which are
CLEANED the following encouraging
facts: Five national religious bodies
have, within the year, memorialized
congress and the president on the sub
iect of divorce reform in the terrific
ries; an appropriation by congress
for collecting statistics on the subject
of marriage and divorce, which passed
the senate last session seems likely to
become q law this session Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, New York and New Jersey have
reformed their divorce laws or taken
other important legislative action in
the matter. In Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania and Ohio the
governors have urged reform. AS an
indication of what can be done by agi-
tation and persistence, it is noteworthy
that in Vermont, Mr.. bikes first field
of labor, the number of divorces,
which in 1884 was 200, in 1885 was
but IS.

The Vermont Mutual.

At a meeting of the directors Of the
Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Co.,
held Feb. 2, Hon. W. II. II. Bing-
ham rendered his resignation as Pres
ident of the company, which, at his
urgent desire and request, was &C
cepted. The company still retain the
services of Mr.. Bingham as director
Subsequently the following resolution
was presented and unanimously adop-
ted: -
ResoEued,-That the retirement of Hon.
w. H. Bingham from the Presidency OF
this company, after a service of 80 years
as director and for the past ten years as
President, the company lose faithful
executive officer and his associate direc-
tors a genial and courteous chairman,
and the directors desire 20 tender to him
at this time a continuance of the high es-
TEEN and personal regard which they
have for so long had for him, and feel a
lust pride in his long and honorable rec
ord while in the service of this company,
and they express the hope that he will
continue to remain in the board and give
to the company the benefit of the long
experience he has had in its affairs.
Hon. Fred E. Smith, the Vice Pres
ident, was then unanimously elected
President, to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by Mr.. Bingham's retirement,
and Charles T. Sabin was chosen Vice
President. Hon. F. E. Smith, as
many of our readers know, is a sue
cessful and clear headed business
man, and during his connection with
the company has made himself thor
oughly conversant with all the details
of its business. He is a careful and
conservative fire underwater. His
administration of the company's af-
fairs in all it's departments will be
sure to be conducted upon approved
business principles and will undoubt-
eddy commend itself to the confidence
of the policy-holders of the company
throughout the State. Mr.. Charlie:
I. Sabin, who succeeds Mr.. Smith a:
Vice President, has been an active
director of the company for severa
years, is careful business man anC
will make a good officer.-Free Press

PARTIsANsHIP. - Another instance
of that partisanship that overreaches
itself is the removal from his seat in
Congress of Major William A. Pirce,
of Rhode Island. The election in the
Second District in that State in 1884
was very close, the Republican ma
jerity on the Congressional ticket be-
ing only sixteen. The customary talk
about bribery, intimidation and fraud
followed the announcement of the re-
suit, and Major Pirce's chief competi-
tor, although not pretending under
any circumstances to have secured a
majority of the votes, was encouraged
by his Democratic friends in Washing
ton to begin contest. The inyesti-
cation proved the election to have
been singularly free from irregulari-
ties of any kind, and after giving the
contestant the advantage of every
technical point, Major Pirce still had
a majority of three. But the COM
mittee had apparently set out to I'M
seat Major Pirce, and three votes was
SO very small a margin that, accord
ing to the committees logic, it must
have been dishonesty obtained. And
the House, by strictly party vote,
sustained the committee. The only
thing to be gained was the bare posi-
bility that the contestant, in the new
election to be held before the 4th of
March, may be successful, and if it is,
even though he may be sworn in on
the last day of the session, he can
draw pay for the whole term and so
reimburse himself for the expenses of
his contest. Acts of open injustice
like this generally react upon those
who are guilty of them, and we should
not be surprised if this unwarranted
proceeding on the part of a partisan
majority had a marked effect upon the
election that is to take place in the
same Rhode Island district in April
next.-FT0nE LeSlje's.

An outbreak of war in the early
spring in Europe, seems to be almost
a foregone conclusion. 1t is not at
all likely that Germany and France
can be longer kept apart, judging
from the news that comes across the
sea, and other nations are likely to
be embroiled.
